fees di un wants an answer after images released following the capture of libya's dictator and son suggested they were killed violently while in captivity. the new york's occupy wall street protests go on despite more arrests inspiring copycat protests to call for social and economic change in asia europe and the middle east. and the launch of a full inquest into the that the former russian agent alexander litvinenko could lead to some uncomfortable revelations about britain's intelligence services. to nine am in moscow i matras are good to have you with us here on r t our top story there is growing international pressure for an investigation into exactly how libya's ousted dictator moammar gadhafi died he un expressed concern over
1:01 am
a video footage taken following his capture which shows khadafi taken alive before he was apparently killed meanwhile nato said it's winding down its bombing campaign in a country or he's a nice in our way has the latest. now there are so many conflicting reports as to how moammar gadhafi was actually killed very different variations of video brutal video which went viral certainly on the internet i lost the mainstream media selling those images the world watching some people of course and all others just horrified to see this man despite the fact that many people knew that he was completely lost you want to be he's very much hated by most of the people here a lot of people horrified by some of those images western officials certainly praising the situation very happy about gadhafi being gone but we're hearing concerns from the ground certainly that investigation he spit wants into that and also that backed by russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov this to say about the
1:02 am
fact that there needs to be some kind of investigation into the way gadhafi was killed and also about when this nato no fly zone is going to end. so the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded and also that she was killed and later there were reports that a convoy carrying macondo was attacked by nato planes and also that the rebels captured members of that convoy it has been repeated numerous times in one thousand planes and you have a u.n. mandate to insure a no fly zone over libya and the convoy wasn't posing any threat to civilians on the ground and could be a legitimate target so nato actions pose a number of questions as well as we're hearing that the u.n. security council is looking into it will be reviewing trying to cope another resolution as to when to officially and that no find so the mood here is quite celebrates morry are lots of people honking their horns hazard lights on it's very different from what we saw when mubarak was ousted in terms of singing songs down
1:03 am
the street a lot of people walking around plainclothes people with semiautomatic an automatic weapon sitting is in the air the situation is very tense very few people here thinking about a question that global add a lister as. which of course is what's next for libya a lot of fears that the country could break out some kind of tribal war that there's going to be a real push and a power struggle here for people to get into power it's no secret that the country enjoys vast vast oil wealth and this is something that's all going to begin to unfold in the next couple of days but right now the people of tripoli and most of the country are not thinking about that they're thinking and celebrate the fact that gadhafi is finally gone. one of the sons moved to see was also captured alive in sirte only to be declared dead shortly after libya's interim government claims he also died of his wounds and the video you're seeing now clearly shows the one who does seem to be casually smoking a cigarette and sitting against a wall shortly afterwards he seems sprawled across the floor been severely wounded
1:04 am
and then completely lifeless war correspondent eric margolis says he thinks it's unlikely the world will see an investigation into the deaths of gadhafi or his son . i think things served a fair trial i can't think how they would have gotten one in libya but they should have it's a terrible way to end a regime that's very common in the middle east but it's wrong and one is the needle in my view the old tyrant saying from the caribbean ten men tell no tales because. he and his family have a lot of tales to foreign involvements and the fact that though he was always portrayed as a great goal he also played a lot of footsie and hanky panky with the western powers based on my understanding of the time i spend in libya and even with. the tribal nature of libya the fact that only one can really unified country in one nine hundred fifty one. and in the region to speratus and libya are certainly going to be
1:05 am
grounds for future tensions starting right now because the fighting of all where to bury him and and who's really in charge. all is that these different groups of you were held together by one thing and that was a drip coffee now that's gone the way they can really direct their anger at each other and i think after things pay us incidents and political instability there are a lot of people looking back on libya. and changing will back. irrational consult but author adrian so bushy thinks western powers should also be held accountable for the killing of because of their desire for regime change. this is a message for the whole world i don't think this is just about libya we are seeing how i think hillary clinton secretary of state of the united states expressed it very clearly on c.b.s. news when she said we came. and then started laughing this is
1:06 am
a message to the world of how this new world order model actually works well when we decide to take early redeem they do so with the utmost violence and it's a whole model based on orwellian newspeak so to speak first the target a role a country local community role state support local terrorist and call them freedom fighters then the rain death and destruction upon civilians and we quote we un sanctions then they spread lies and call the international community's opinion expressed by the western media then be invade and controlling a country and call it liberation and finally they steal appetising oil and call it foreign investments and reconstruction. on our website you can find a later time the mysterious deaths of gadhafi and his son analysis what's next for libya that's our click away at r.t. dot com. stay with us here on ars he still to come in a few minutes. it is not because he there's nothing to do.

1:09 am
envelope to put their bodies to try to protect him and keep him from getting arrested those two activists were them handcuffed rather violently and taken aback at the police trucks and taken away now what this signifies is that the numbers of these protests continue to grow perhaps putting some sort of fear into the system here where officials don't feel like they can control movement that seems to have spread wide across the world not just here in the united states. israel's other country has recently witnessed weeks of protests and calls for social justice but while the tent camps are gone the changed managed by activists is nowhere to be seen pushing israelis toward the growing up toward the growing worldwide occupy movement as are accused falsely reports from television. anger outreach and. on the streets of new york a throwback to the same scenes different streets around ten thousand kilometers away the politicians in the united states exaggerated in this thing where is the

a location very close to where. the center of power is where the center of greed is for in this case the street but many are wondering what exactly that struggle in israel achieved recommendations made by government committee still need to be implemented and that the take of all this looks like any other street in tel aviv but less than a month ago the flippant focal point of social change revolutionizing its role of attaining a game of faith with bikers and the social demands are still waiting to be made. like many american is rabies many is watching the u.s. rallies closely and says they are an inspiration to many in israel is proud people are taking a stand against corruption and the protests the struggle and the anger is in the people still and the struggle is still going to go. i view more and more people live on the polluted. pull you see on t.v. tell of the. eurozone finance ministers are going to read to give greece the next
